Hi! Kirk here. On today’s NHK evening news heavy rain was forecast for western Japan tomorrow. They said that this may be the first time that the new 5-level warning system will be used since it’s official adoption. After seeing that bit of news, I went online again to see if I could find an English version of the easy-to-understand (if you read Japanese) chart that you see with this post. Alas, I came up empty handed. [Expletive deleted]
Well, at least if you read the text of my post below, you should be able to interpret the various levels if they happen to be announced for your area.
